Simple ways to avoid leakage in qubit systems — •Frank Wilhelm1,2, Felix Motzoi2, Seth Merkel3, and Jay Gambetta3 — 1Theoretical Physics, Saarland University, Saarbrücken — 2IQC and Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Waterloo, Canada — 3IBM Watson Research Laboratories, Yorktown Heights, NY, USA
No physical system is just a two-state qubit. Many qubit candidates are in fact weakly nonlinear oscillators with leakage transitions that lead outside the computational subspace that are spectrally close to the qubit transition. The simple DRAG pulse-shaping method allows to efficiently supress these leakage transitions. We will show that there is a whole family of DRAG pulses that also allow to enhance spectral selectivity through multiple channels, and that allow to selectively address qubits driven through a common control. These ideas are applied to superconducting phase qubits, Transmons, and circuit QED architectures.
